Yeah, and "organic meat" usually means "meat from animals fed organic grains
and soy"! "Grass-fed" is more important on the label than "organic" or
"biodynamic."

Did you ever try asking them how they think wild beef animals or early
cattle survived and reproduced before people started feeding them grains,
and later soy and other glop, or how pure grass-fed beef cattle survive
today, such as the vast majority of the cattle in Florida? :-)
